Bath re-enamelling in Worlingham without replacing anything
Cast iron, steel, acrylic, roll-top and period baths can all be resurfaced. Several coats of finish go on over a bonding primer, after the bath has been cleaned, repaired and keyed. If you are dealing with an original cast iron bath that needs restoring and worn patches where water runs and sits, we can help, on cast iron baths, pressed steel baths and basins & shower trays alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk.

What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a full day, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We sheet, mask and ventilate the room.
- Old sealant is cut out and the bath is deep cleaned.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- The new finish is sprayed on in several coats and left to cure until the next day.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Prices and what affects them
Prices start from £350. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Looking after it afterwards
Much of the damage we repair could have been avoided. A few tips:
- Avoid suction-cup mats
- Do not leave bottles, razors or sponges standing on the surface
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- Repair dripping taps early
Treat the new finish gently at first: give it the full curing time, then clean it gently. After that, no abrasives and no suction mats.
Leave a peeling coating alone. Water gets under it and the damage spreads, so have it stripped and resurfaced.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Holes rusted through the metal
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Damage hidden under a previous coating, until it’s stripped back
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair

Repairs by material
Roll-top and period baths
We can resurface a roll-top inside and out, and the outside can be refinished too.
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, with a coating system suited to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Worlingham
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
If you manage property in Worlingham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
